This week finds our remaining eleven designers with a challenge of designing a runway costume with a Movie Genre theme. The choices included Sci Fiction, Western, Action and Adventure, Film etc.
$150 in materials and 30 minutes to choose a character based on their assignment card. Plus, each designer had 30 minutes to view a manuscript of what theme the judges were looking for in the costume they are making as a guide. After a 30 minute shopping spree to buy materials our crew our designers heads back to the work room to start constructing their design and can work until midnight to complete most of the work and have a few hours to finish off the design for the models fitting, hair and make-up.
The guest judges include some of the great costume and set designers, John Veritas, Zoe, Glassier and costume designer Diane Phillips.
The final judging came down to six designers: Ra'mon, Gordana, Nicholas, Efferson and Christopher.
Christopher creates a spectacular "vampire themed" ruffled "puffed out" bottom sleeveless dress with loads of details including: a high neck collar pulled up with a small pearl pin, Katie looked sensational with her fingerless white gloves, black lacing on the waist.
Epperson didn't want to choose his western style garment but it made model Matar look gorgeous. She had on a "western bad girl" theme dress, large ruffled collar which looked like feathers and formed a "M" across her breast line, leather waist wrap, her brown cowboy boots were covered with a beautiful ruffled black dress which gave the appearance of an older style western "saloon hall" girl and white gusset underneath.
Nicholas designed a gorgeous Sci Fiction "Ice Princess White evening gown, which wowed the judges (as one of the three guest judges Ariana mentioned, "Nicholas white lace detail , make-up created a fantasy that would show up under the stage lights...) He left no greater attention to details this week after almost going home last week; by making his model Celine look spectacular floating down the runway, white lace detail, and flower leave pattern sequins, high collared front and to the sides appeared as she had white crystal antennae" coming from under her collar, even her make-up and black hair were sprinkled with white ice and I even loved her open toed shoes and bright red toenail polish.She looked amazingly beautiful and he rightfully deserved to win this week's challenge.
I love the added features that the Bravo' TV's Project Runway has to offer, with fashion designer blogs, hair and make-up tips from Garnier Fructis and Loreal Paris, designer's portfolios, bios, more photos, etc. Best of all is the "Rate the Runway" mode which allows extra views of the models clothing (front, rear and side) so you can look at the detail the designers create each and every week, (and by using your mouse can scan with the giant magnifying glass mode).
It was sad to see Designer R'mon leave Project Runway but his green alien mess design didn't cut it with the judges standards.
Plus, all the other remaining designer clothing can be found on their web site here Only Ten designers remain for next week's challenge.
